Hey there Vette Fans!!
Any trials and tribulation to note on remving the old strut rods and installing the new adjustable set I purchased from Mid-America?
Thanks as usual

Vette(s): 1971 T-top. I just had car shipped from my parents house in florida where it has sat for over 12 years..It is going to be a long project!
I remember getting old ones off was much easier than putting new ones on. One side seemed to go on easy and the other was a little harder... needed a little help 
... If I remember right what we did was raise and lower wheel to help with getting the bolts to line up with holes and go in straight. Now this was on a 71, I dont know how much it differs from 79.
